Olay ProX Cleansing System vs. Clarisonic

You've seen it on QVC, that product that uses a rotating brush to cleanse your face. That's the Clarisonic and it sells for about $200. My family and I chipped in to buy my mother-in-law one for Christmas. She is a QVC addict but refused to spend that much on herself, no matter how much she wanted it. Needless to say, she thought it was the best surprise ever! It comes with a plug in rechargeable battery and some cleanser. You should make sure your face is wet before applying the brush in a circular motion. After 20 seconds, the Clarisonic will beep to tell you it's time to move to another area of your face. Of course, she let me try it and I thought "Ooh! I'd love one of these!" But as a SAHM, I could never justify spending that kind of money.

So, here I am walking into my local store, and there is this huge advertisement comparing Olay's ProX Advanced Cleansing System to the well known "200" model. There it was, a rotating brush and cleanser, just like the Clarisonic! And the best part? It was $29.99!!!!! WooHoo!! Just my price range. Of course, I snatched it up and threw it in my cart, fearing they would be gone if I waited.
